How many calories does stress have? We agree that this is a ridiculous question, but ask almost anyone if
stress makes you gain weight and you will receive a resounding "yes." But, if stress has no calories, then how does it affect your weight? The
truth is that the calorie model is not the whole story on fat loss.
Stress and other lifestyle factors work through hormonal and metabolic mechanisms that alter not only the amount of calories we eat, but where on the body we store them, and most importantly what we burn: sugar, fat, or muscle.
Join
Melissa Majumdar, Registered Dietitian, as she delves into the biochemistry of
stress, nutrition, and metabolism. She will set the foundation with a scientific explanation

of the
function of your
adrenal glands, cortisol, and insulin. You will learn the unique ways in which the metabolism and immune system respond differently to the type of
stress - acute or chronic. Be prepared to walk away with precise tools to use through diet
and nutrition to reduce stress levels, stimulate metabolism, improve mood and optimize health! You do not want to miss this valuable seminar!
We look forward to seeing you all for the April 22
nd lecture on "Nutrition, Stress & Metabolism" at 6:45 pm! Healthy snacks and beverages will be provided, courtesy of
Whole Foods Market in
Rockville. Advanced registration is required, so please visit our
website to register for your seat at this and upcoming seminars.

I wish I could be there! I was seriously affected by adrenal exhaustion for almost four years, and even now, five years after I "got better", I still feel minor effects and---if I'm not very careful---I have relapses. I'd like to know more. If you have any materials that you can pass along, I'd love to see them. Thanks!
